The discovery of ubiquitin conjugation to lysines and the role of K48-linked polyubiquitin in targeting substrates for proteasomal degradation was followed by revelation of non-degradative roles of ubiquitination and, more recently, of non-canonical covalent ubiquitin linkages. Here we summarize findings of the ever-expanding array of ubiquitin signals and their biological roles.
泛素与赖氨酸的连接以及 K48 连接的多泛素在靶向蛋白酶体降解底物中的作用的发现,随后揭示了泛素化的非降解作用,以及最近揭示了非典型的共价泛素连接。在这里,我们总结了不断扩展的泛素信号及其生物学作用的发现。
